It was really great to see so many faces at last night’s #hbgtweetup. Even though we couldn’t be in the Abbey, it was great to see Betsy behind the bar and enjoy a pint of my Bozich Black IPA (try the series!).
Clik here to view.

A sidecar: one of 6 classic cocktails available at The Circular.
In news, this week, The Vineyard at Hershey announced it will add a brewery to its repertoire. The Hershey Grill has reopened in time for Restaurant Week. And yesterday I got sneak peek at The Circular, the reinvention of the Circular Dining Room at The Hotel Hershey, but I’ll have that story later this weekend.
My husband has had a busy work week, so tonight we’ll relax with some comfort food (What should I cook?) and catch up with the DVR. Friday also will be purposefully low key, but Saturday night I’m headed to dinner & a show – Cafe Fresco followed by … the Male Revue at Savannah’s on Hanna!
If you’re hitting the Mason Dixon Wine Trail this week, don’t miss a stop at Old Republic Distillery in Seven Valleys for some “moonshine. ” Plus, don’t forget you can enter to win tickets to see Colbie Caillat at American Music Theatre on March 27. Enter here.
